    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi everyone - I'm a bit new to this but could do with some advice.

I've calculated my charges and took a letter to my branch, stating that I wished to claim back the charges. Got a reciept etc. said I was giving them 14 days then I'd take it further.......

 

That makes the 9/4/7 the 14 days but this is a BH. Has everyone else given them 14 working days or calendar days?

 

Also have you tried to call them first or just put in a small claims court action?

 

Any advice greatly received ~ Many thanks

Hi, thanks for that Zoot & Nattie...

 

Just rang Natwest as not heard anything & wanted to confirm they'd received my letter and sent an ack letter back (which i've not had).....they also said offer letter was in the post. I'm still going ahead with the LBA today recorded, however wondered from others experience what this was likely to be, partial or full etc.

 

Many thanks

A chap called Tom Brennan is taking Nat West to court this Friday to basically get them to justify that the charges that they have levied are fair and reasonable.

 

He feels that when Nat West charge us £38 for a failed direct debit it in actual fact only costs them about £2.50.I am not sure where he has got figures from but he is a barrister and seems fairly confident that he can win-if he loses he will be bankrupt and disbarred.

 

He has claimed £2500 in charges from them and they have offered him £4000 in settlement so do we assume from this that they have something to hide?

Whichever way they go they are on a hiding to nothing-if they do not defend the case then that will taken as a key to open the floodgates and then everyine will claim.

 

I do not see how they can defend this situation when you think that up to now they have not defended a single case.

 

Also the case is on Friday the 13th!

Ok a bit of an update....I did all of the stages, and didn't get a jot back from Natwest not even an ack from them!

 

So I went through moneyclaim....didn't hear anything till the day before, then they decided to submit a defence. That was a week ago.

 

Today I get home and they offered the full amount minus the interest. Not admitting liability etc...(sounds like the standard letter) No mention of the court costs. It says I have 8 weeks to respond.

 

Your advise is needed here please. I would be prepared to accept the amount if they offered the court costs. How should I play this, and does waiting a few weeks jepodise my court case as I thought they only had another week to submit a defense...instead they've made an offer.

 

What does all this mean...is this normal practice :???:

 

Many thanks

..is this normal practice :???:

 

Afraid so - completely normal Cobbetts behaviour. All you need to do is to write back politely accepting their offer as a partial settlement of your claim and telling them that you intend to continue until they meet your claim in full and unconditionally.

 

Then wait.

 

THey will give in.

Had a letter from Northampton saying my case has been transferred to my local court. And that unless the judge instructs otherwise the allocation questionaire has been dispensed with.

 

What can I expect next then - and what sort of timescales??

 

Many thanks

This is totally normal for your claim to be transfered to a more local court. Northampton is the bulk centre for MCOL and just doesn't have the capacity to deal with the volume of claims they are receiving.

 

You now need to wait for further directions from the court.

Deller,

Thanks for that...sometimes seems a bit daunting getting all this legal stuff through, and I'm never sure if I'm in the same boat as the next person!

 

I shall sit tight and keep my fingers crossed for a nice big cheque sooner rather than later ;)

Thanks
